A/C Service for Pontiac Bonneville

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Pontiac Bonneville?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Pontiac vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1989 Pontiac. Steer your Pontiac Bonneville to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1989 Pontiac Bonneville’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Pontiac Bonneville A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Bonneville

While your 1989 Pontiac Bonneville’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Pontiac guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1989 Pontiac Bonneville A/C recharges.

Other Pontiac Bonneville A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Pontiac Bonneville A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1989 Pontiac Bonneville? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Bonneville.

Questions About 1989 Pontiac Bonneville A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Bonneville air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Bonneville A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Bonneville’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Bonneville A/C use gas? Bonneville air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • My Bonneville’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Bonneville creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Bonneville’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Bonneville may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
